The Town Plaza [2]

Halee

Hiccuping now, I feel like I'm going to faint. I swallow and lie down, wiping my eyes.

Lucian

I hesitate before leaving the bag and heading out to the garden. I sit behind her and swallow, moving her head onto my lap and wiping her eyes, "I-I'm sorry..."

Halee

I glance up at him, my eyes puffy as I sniffle, "W-What?"

Lucian

"I'm sorry," I repeat, swallowing.

Halee

I swallow and look away, nodding slowly as I play around with my wings.

Lucian

I study her, "I-I... Tell me what you want from me, Halee."

Halee

I glance up again and lean upwards, kissing him quickly, "Does that answer your question? I want you from you."

Lucian

I move a hand to the side of her face and keep my eyes closed, my face close to hers, "Is it really that simple?"

Halee

I close my eyes, "It could be."

Lucian

I keep my hand on the side of her face, "Just don't leave me again then."

Halee

I sigh, "Promise."

Lucian

I kiss her quickly again, resting my forehead against hers.

Halee

I kiss him again and set a hand on the side of his face, my wings perking.

Lucian

I bring my other hand over hers and kiss her back.

Halee

I get in a more comfortable position and keep my eyes closed.
